Chapter 93 isn't meant for men to read.
"What explanation do you have?" Jiang Zheng's face was ashen as he angrily pointed at the messy bed. "You!"
Jiang Zheng looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and didn't know what to say for a moment.
His concubine had an affair with his own nanny...
"No, it's not what you see, sir, please let me explain." Aunt Liu was somewhat flustered.
“Father, I’ve heard that there are people who are born both male and female,” Jiang Wan Ning said softly. “These people can both give birth to children and make others give birth to children.”
"Perhaps it is Granny Zhang?"
"No, no, Miss, please don't wrong this old servant."
"Don't you know whether this old servant is male or female?" said Zhang Mama. "My lord, ask yourself honestly, these past ten years since the concubine entered the manor,..."
“You have never stayed overnight in your aunt’s courtyard. Everyone has desires. Your aunt did not go out to find other men, but asked this old servant to help her.”
"This old servant is an old woman, but I know a little bit, this...this is how..."
Jiang Zheng, having been through similar experiences, surely understood what Granny Zhang was saying.
Not to mention Lady Liu, even the concubines in the harem who had been out of favor for many years would risk death to seduce some guards.
“Yes, sir.” Seeing the hesitation on Jiang Zheng’s face, Concubine Liu said, “Sir, I didn’t want to do anything to betray you, that’s why…”
"As for what the young lady said about whether Granny Zhang is a man or a woman, isn't that absurd?"
“How could such a thing happen? Miss, you are framing me! I know you dislike me.”
"My lord, for the past ten years or so, I would rather do this than do anything to betray you..."
Aunt Liu's words immediately ignited a sense of guilt in Jiang Zheng's heart.
These past ten years or so have indeed been more than something that money can compensate for.
“Father, wouldn’t it be better to send someone to check?” Jiang Wan Ning said, “Since Zhang Mama says she is a woman.”
"Then send another nanny to check it again."
Upon hearing this, both Granny Zhang and Aunt Liu showed a flash of panic on their faces.
“Ningning is right. Someone, go and examine Zhang Mama.”
When Zhou spoke, Jiang Zheng acquiesced.
"Master...Master, isn't this humiliating to the old woman?"
“It’s just a physical examination, what’s so humiliating about it?” Zhou said calmly. “It’s not like it’s a man who’s being examined.”
Madam Zhou glanced at her personal maid and gave her a signal. The maid immediately waved and led several old women forward to restrain Zhang Mama.
"Drag the screen away."
"yes."
"Wait!"
Jiang Wanru walked in as she spoke, and bowed to Jiang Zheng, saying, "Father, Mother."
Why are you here?
Jiang Zheng said coldly, "This is none of your business. Go back now!"
“Father, I am now the adopted daughter of the Grand Princess. Zhang Mama has served my aunt and me all these years. She has worked hard, if not done anything meritorious.”
"I hope that Father will not make things difficult for Granny Zhang, out of respect for the Grand Princess."
“My aunt has endured enough for my father all these years.”
"What are you saying, sister? You think Auntie has suffered more? Didn't my mother suffer a lot too?" Jiang Wan Ning said coldly.
Jiang Wanru bowed to Jiang Wanning, "Sister, please understand, that's not what I meant."
"If Father insists on investigating, wouldn't that be disrespecting the Grand Princess?"
“My daughter has just recognized the Grand Princess as her godmother, and Father is already making a move against my aunt and the people around her. If the Grand Princess finds out, she will definitely think that Father is going against her again.”
"Daughter is doing this for her father and for the good of the Marquis's mansion."
"Smack!"
Jiang Wanning slapped Jiang Wanru hard across the face.
"So you're already threatening your father?"
"What will happen in the future?"
Jiang Wanru covered her burning cheek. "You! How dare you hit me?"
"Now I am just like you, a county princess. Since you are older than me, I call you 'elder sister.' What right do you have to hit me?"
"Just fight, why ask so many questions?"
Jiang Wan Ning took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped her hands. "If Granny Zhang really has male functions, then it's a secret rendezvous."
"Don't even mention an old servant, even a concubine will be drowned!"
"Someone! Verify it properly!" Jiang Wan Ning said coldly.
Jiang Zheng was about to speak when Zhou Shi reached out and pulled him back.
Zhou's personal nanny quickly checked.
"how?"
"Reporting to Master and Madam," the nanny said to Jiang Zheng, "Nanny Zhang is indeed as Miss said."
“No, Father, this must be a setup by them!” Jiang Wanru said.
Jiang Zheng was also hearing about this for the first time. He shook off Jiang Wanru's hand that was pulling on his sleeve and strode into the screen.
Check it out yourself.
'Bang!'
The screen suddenly collapsed to the ground. Jiang Zheng's face was dark, and his fists were clenched tightly. "Aunt Liu, what else do you have to say?!"
Liu's body went limp, and she knelt down.
With her mouth gagged, Granny Zhang kept shaking her head and making muffled noises.
Jiang Wanru originally thought that bringing up the Grand Princess would make Jiang Zheng back down.
Who knew that Jiang Wan Ning would stop pretending now?
“Father, Zhang Mama has been serving Aunt Liu for many years, and they have this kind of relationship.”
"I just wonder, whose child is this second sister..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zheng shot him a dagger-like glare, making Jiang Wanru feel uneasy.
“Master, Ru’er is definitely your child. You must believe me, Master,” Aunt Liu cried.
“But she doesn’t resemble her father at all. Besides resembling her aunt, she also looks somewhat like Granny Zhang in her eyes and brows.”
Jiang Wanru knelt down with a thud. "Father, I am your daughter. Even if my aunt and the nanny have something going on, I am still your daughter."
"Is it because my elder sister has suddenly become so kind to me that I have also been granted the title of county princess?"
"Master, the Duke of Rongguo has arrived," the steward interrupted. "He says he has some old stories to tell you."
"I won't see him!" Jiang Zheng was furious.
“Father, we should still meet him. That’s the Duke,” Jiang Wan Ning said. “He must have something important to discuss in person, coming so late.”
"Yes, we should still meet them."
When Zhou spoke, Jiang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Take the person to the front hall, I will be there shortly."
"yes."
The steward left, and Jiang Zheng glanced at Aunt Liu and Granny Zhang. "Lock them in the woodshed. We'll interrogate them later!"
Duke Rongguo saw Jiang Zheng approaching with a dark expression.
He glanced at Jiang Wanning behind him again, and she nodded slightly at him.
Then he said, "I came so late for two reasons: first, to thank Miss Jiang, and second, to discuss an old matter."
"I originally thought it was the Marquis's family matter and didn't want to get involved, but after what happened with my elder sister, I think it would be good to talk to the Marquis and his wife about it."
Jiang Zheng glanced at Zhou Shi; he had heard about what happened at the Rong'an Marquis's residence today.
But how did this matter lead the Duke of Rong to come to him to talk about an old story?
"Please speak freely, Your Excellency."
